That was a long article but the gist seems to be that they have a way to view unencrypted traffic being transmitted on a wireless network so they could e.g. read http traffic but not https.

I'm not hearing an alternative here.

It's not great they're the only ones allowed to do it.

I agree

Technology advances have inevitably produced unemployment. Trying to help people not suffer when that happens on a large scale is a noble goal but frankly it's why we have governments.

Also, the genie is well and truly out of the bottle, if anthropic shutdown tomorrow and lit everything they had produced on fire, amazon, microsoft, china, everyone would continue where they left off.


Privatise the gains and socialise the losses. How very typical. I hope you feel the same way in the bread lines alongside everyone else.

I'm suggesting your realpolitik of "others doing it too" is incompatible with a moral position. I know none of these ghouls will stop burning the world. I'm sick of them virtue signalling about how righteous they are while doing it.


At least with Altman you know the guy just wants money, with Amodei you get this grandstanding and 6 more months fear mongering every 6 months and it is insufferable. Worst person in the AI space BY FAR. Hope the Chinese open source models get so good that these ghouls lose everything.

The product is actually good though, I could pay for it if Amodei just shut up but by principle I won't now and just stick with codex.


Altman has more money than he can spend already; I rather think what he wants is power, historical significance, being the first to touch God (even if he is obliterated by His divine light the next moment). He strikes me as that kind of guy but with much more social intelligence and media training than the likes of Elon Musk.

> No one is voting for more superfund sites. We can agree on that.

Why would you think that? Lots of people vote for that every other year.


Why is disliking racists political. What do words even mean.

> These banned industrial processes sum to making almost every physical object

The processes are obviously not banned, only an idiot would think that. You just can't do the process and dump all the pollutants into the nearby river.


> China has more naval vessels than the US

... what?


Do you know what "the means of production" actually is?

The land, labor, physical machinery and infrastructure that is used to produce goods.

It's weird how the implication of "every government is bad" is that we should stop trying to improve them or worry about the ones that are the worst.

So when can I expect your update to the american population?
